A Thousand (Lyrics)

Refrain: A thousand faces, a thousand masks,

a thousand cracks, a thousand breaks.

My sanity seems to lie in the grey.

I had loved more than most,

hated more than most,

believed more than most.

I believed in you,

but you never believed in me.

Refrain: A thousand faces, a thousand masks,

a thousand cracks, a thousand breaks.

My sanity seems to lie in the grey.

I tried to live, love,

laugh to the fullest;

but you broke me down,

oh, you just broke me down.

Refrain: A thousand faces, a thousand masks,

a thousand cracks, a thousand breaks.

My sanity seems to lie in the grey.

I've lived a life,

tried to live it 

to the fullest.

For you,

for me,

for all of us.

But now I see

you never wanted that anyways.

Refrain: A thousand faces, a thousand masks,

a thousand cracks, a thousand breaks.

My sanity seems to lie in the grey.

I kept a careful mask,

tried to please.

But you treated me as nobody,

as a puppet,

that you could control with ease.

So why is it, now,

I'm the one breaking, not you?

I'm the one drowning, not you?

I'm the one hating, not you?

Refrain: A thousand faces, a thousand masks,

a thousand cracks, a thousand breaks.

My sanity seems to lie in the grey.

With this never ending ballad, I dance,

dance to your heart's content.

Because this never-ending play-by-play,

has driven me insane......

Insane.

Refrian: A thousand faces, a thousand masks,

a thousand cracks, a thousand breaks.

My sanity seems to lie in the grey.

A thousand goodbyes.
